    Passive Integrating Measurements Of Radon And Thoron: Methods And Field Observations

    By S. Murdock, R. L. Fleischer, H. W. Alter, J. E. Gingrich

    The use of solid state track deters allows totally passive, integrating measurements of 222Rn (radon) or of 220Rn (thoron) plus radon. A track-detecting solid is placed in a holder that is closed by a
